2 I. INTRODUCTION 1. This document is presented to the Governing Body in accordance with Financial Rule V, Provision of Funds, and specifically, 5.1 b) which states: The resources of the Treaty shall comprise Voluntary Contributions to the Core Administrative Budget from Contracting Parties, with an indicative scale of contributions available to a Contracting Party upon its request to the Treaty Secretary, to serve as guidance regarding the possible level of its contribution. This voluntary indicative scale of contributions shall be adopted by the Governing Body by consensus and maintained by the Treaty Secretary and shall be based on the scale of contributions adopted from time to time by the United Nations, adjusted so as to ensure that no Contracting Party contributes less than 0.01 per cent of the total, that no one contribution exceeds 22 per cent of the total and that no contribution from a least developed Contracting Party exceeds 0.01 per cent of the total; 2. Appended hereto is the proposed indicative scale of contributions for the International Treaty for the years 2016 and 2017, which, in accordance with the foregoing, has been derived directly from the United Nations Scale of Assessments approved for 2013, 2014, and 2015, as established by General Assembly Resolution 67/238 adopted on 21 December 2012. 3. The total of the UN assessment rates of Members of the United Nations which are not Contracting Parties exceeds the total of those Contracting Parties which are not Members of the United Nations. Accordingly, the UN assessment rate of each Contracting Party, with the exception of those to which the minimum rate is applicable, has to be increased, pro rata, in order to arrive at an indicative scale of contributions adding up to a full 100 per cent 4. An enabling paragraph for the adoption of the Scale by the Governing Body is included in the proposed resolution for the adoption of the Work Programme and Budget 2016-17, as follows: 5. Adopts the indicative scale of contributions, in accordance with Financial Rule V.1b, as contained in Appendix 2 to this resolution
